Q: If I’m cooking two 15-pound turkeys in the same oven, do I figure the same cooking time for both; in other words, if cooking one 15-pound turkey takes 3 hours should I figure the other 15-pound turkey in the same oven is going to take an additional 3 hours, meaning 6 hours for both, or will 3 hours for two 15-pound turkeys cooking side by side by enough?

A: One would think that two turkeys simultaneously subjected to, say, 325 degree F heat, would cook in the same time. But according to Karen Blakeslee, food safety expert at Kansas State University, there are so many variables — the size of the oven, the size of the birds, the material and depth of the roasting pans, the source of heat (convection versus conventional) — that it’s impossible to say precisely how long it will take two birds.

Karen’s advice is to start off with two turkeys of the same weight. Roast for the recommended length of time for one bird. Remove the turkeys and take the internal temperature of both birds.

Turkeys are done when they each register 170 to 175 degrees F. at the thigh and 160 to 165 degrees F. at the breast.

CityView Plaza, a huge office, restaurant and retail complex in downtown San Jose, was bought in July for nearly $284 million -- in cash -- by an affiliate of developer Jay Paul, which in December landed $157 million in financing for the site.

Even if Trump's proposal fails in the Senate, Republicans hope to use the development to put the onus on Democrats and cast them as the ones who are standing in the way of solving the shutdown, after a series of public polls have shown Trump blamed more than Democrats for the impasse.
